Once, empires were carved out by armies. The same
old people still colonise the world today, but now they call themselves
global investors.
As the ancients said, "When the lake dries up, the truth emerges."
It is only now that the bubble has burst and our currencies have
collapsed,
that we can see how the market system works to enrich and protect
the old, existing colonial masters, at our expense. All along it
was,
and continues to be, their games, played by their rules for their
benefit. And we are the suckers who have leapt into their trap with
alacrity.
